in salisbury the mer chants are gradually becoming inter ested in the matter and they begin to see that salisbury with proper ef fort will soon become one of the most important tobacco markets in the

advance the tobacco interest of salisbury they had much to con tend with from the beginning and were confronted with a provokino in difference on the purt of some of the business men of salisbury but there is more united effort now than ever before people seem to forget that tobacco means something real it means dol lars and cents and every pound of tobacco brought to salisbury means just that much more money in circula tion here for instance a man brings a load oi tobacco : he wants bacon agricultural implements clothing su gar coffee e farmers naturally want to sell in the dearest market and buy in the cheap esl nÂ»e avearage prices obtained for tobacco in salisbury ia.-t year were as high as any other market in the state and with the advantage that salisbury merchants have over those not on a railroad could make it to the interest of the farmer of some of the adjoining counties to buy from them selling their tobacco in salisbury then leaving their money there too now this is the position uf a tobacco grower he has raised say live bams of tob icco he is lo cated anywhere in davidson davie livdel or rowan ho hits three points at which he can sell his in terest should induce him to sell in salisbury in preference to the other points and how can that be done svhy by buying his tobacco at a io n price an i se l.ng him what he wants a low as lie can buy in any other market it his live barns ot tobacco bring 1,000 and as nearly always tha case he has to spend near ly all oi it tin salisbury merchants should induce him to spend it wii'i hem they could sell to him t v cash at a minimum of advance over first cost 1 have said above live barns of tobacco for 1,000 the writer ha known tobacco to bring 500 to the barn and merchants of salisbury could get all the trade from the a iji ining counties with a gi o 1 tobacco market here the counties ' uf montgomery stanly i iiion and a part of cabarrih have fine tobacco lauds and they would all sell here 1 he farmers of rowan are awake to their interest : it can be seen on the books at the warehouses in salis bury that with the exception of two or three farmers all who raised to bacco soiii there and they know that they got the vvvy highest prices to be had anywhere of course with plen ty ot tobacco raised in rowan and adjoining counties manufacturers will naturally locate in salisbury for t'n growth of the trade here i

the prospects for a radio il change in this condition of affairs seems very flattering and the near future will in all probability be marked by an es pecially marked increase in the to baeto interest in salisbury the mer chants are gradually becoming inter ested in the matter and they begin to see that salisbury with proper ef fort will soon become one of the most important tobacco markets in the state and that its prospects in this respect are daily growing more bill i liant this plea ing result is due to the individual efforts of a few enterpris ing men who have labored uuremit ! tingly to advance the tobacco interest of salisbury they had much to con tend with from the beginning and were confronted with a provokino in difference on the purt of some of the business men of salisbury but there is more united effort now than ever before people seem to forget that tobacco means something real it means dol lars and cents and every pound of tobacco brought to salisbury means just that much more money in circula tion here for instance a man brings a load oi tobacco : he wants bacon agricultural implements clothing su gar coffee e farmers naturally want to sell in the dearest market and buy in the cheap esl nÂ»e avearage prices obtained for tobacco in salisbury ia.-t year were as high as any other market in the state and with the advantage that salisbury merchants have over those not on a railroad could make it to the interest of the farmer of some of the adjoining counties to buy from them selling their tobacco in salisbury then leaving their money there too now this is the position uf a tobacco grower he has raised say live bams of tob icco he is lo cated anywhere in davidson davie livdel or rowan ho hits three points at which he can sell his in terest should induce him to sell in salisbury in preference to the other points and how can that be done svhy by buying his tobacco at a io n price an i se l.ng him what he wants a low as lie can buy in any other market it his live barns ot tobacco bring 1,000 and as nearly always tha case he has to spend near ly all oi it tin salisbury merchants should induce him to spend it wii'i hem they could sell to him t v cash at a minimum of advance over first cost 1 have said above live barns of tobacco for 1,000 the writer ha known tobacco to bring 500 to the barn and merchants of salisbury could get all the trade from the a iji ining counties with a gi o 1 tobacco market here the counties ' uf montgomery stanly i iiion and a part of cabarrih have fine tobacco lauds and they would all sell here 1 he farmers of rowan are awake to their interest : it can be seen on the books at the warehouses in salis bury that with the exception of two or three farmers all who raised to bacco soiii there and they know that they got the vvvy highest prices to be had anywhere of course with plen ty ot tobacco raised in rowan and adjoining counties manufacturers will naturally locate in salisbury for t'n growth of the trade here i natural and will be continuous we have readied the point where rapid ad vance is assured and retrogression impossible salisbury occupies such an advantageous position with rel r ence both to the farmer and the man ufacturer that it is destined to be come the common depot tor both it is not over estimating the tobacco crop in rowan for next year to say it will be increased one hundred per ecu and then we need not depend on any created stimulus to attract this trade it will naturally ii Â» v to salisbury winch will enhance the value of property fifty per cent or more the tanner that has ian
